Birkhauser Light and Emotions: Exploring Lighting Cultures.
Book SynopsisIn addition to its practical functions, such as helping to optimize safety and security, lighting also has another principal task – creating emotions. Light and color can be used to achieve the most varied and astonishing effects. These effects are dependent on the project and spatial environment, but they also depend in large measure on cultural context. This study is based on forty-seven interviews with leading lighting designers from North and South America, Europe, and Asia. For the first time, it explores in a systematic fashion what aesthetic, emotional, and atmospheric tasks a good lighting design can accomplish. The international diversity of the interviewed designers makes for surprising insights. Universal constants are pointed out, but so are the remarkable differences in reception and effect that are occasioned by different societies and cultures. It is imperative, then, for professional lighting designers and architects to familiarize themselves with these "lighting cultures," and this book offers an informative and stimulating opportunity to do so.

Birkhauser Interventions and Adaptive Reuse: A Decade of
Book SynopsisAdaptive reuse is a design practice where changes in the building structure go along with new programs and functions. Many concerns of the day that are the hallmark of current social discourse can equally be communicated through the vocabulary of design and reuse. Six common themes mirroring those of society in the new millennium are discernable in the current adaptive reuse practice: appropriation, ecology, equity, memory & redemption, identity and authenticity. Selected articles from the IntAR Interventions and Adaptive Reuse Journal of the last ten years speak to the social issues of the recent decade. The introductory essay positions shifting norms of working from home or remote learning in the light of their revision through adaptive reuse, for example the post-pandemic repercussions on office towers and the classroom.

These can be used also for structural designs, for example in the design of façades, so a wide range of new possibility for its usage is available now. The title Fine Fabric.

Braun Publishing AG Eat! Best of Restaurant Design
Book SynopsisFor romantic dinners, family meetings or business lunches, restaurants have always functioned as venues of social interaction. Their interior designs are as varied as the types of food served and the culinary delights are aided and abetted by the choice of furniture, materials, floor plans and colors. While some designers strive to produce eccentric and outlandish effects, others distinguish themselves by a minimalist reduction to the essential or a reinterpretation of traditional contexts and classical decor. Eat! presents a sumptuous menu of designs. It is a celebration of the most inspirational new restaurant spaces from all over the world where all the interior design elements add to the exquisite experience of eating out. This illustrated volume is a fascinating kaleidoscope of trendsetting international restaurants which were designed in recent years.

De Gruyter Neighbourhoods and City Quarters in Antiquity:
Book SynopsisStudies on ancient urbanity either concerns individual buildings or the city as a whole. This volume, instead, addresses a meso-scale of urbanity: the socio-spatial organisation of ancient cities. Its temporal focus is on Late Republican and Imperial Italy, and more specifically the cities of Pompeii and Ostia. Referring to a praxeological and phenomenological perspective, it looks at neighbourhoods and city quarters as basic categories of design and experience. With the terms ‘neighbourhood and ‘city quarter’ the volume proposes two different methodological approaches: Neighbourhood here refers to the face-to-face relation between people living next to each other – thus the small-scale environment centred around a house and an individual. Neighbourhoods thus do not constitute a (collectively defined) urban territory with clear borders, but are rather constituted by individual experiences. In contrast, city quarters are understood as areas that share certain characteristics.

Birkhauser Daylighting Design: Planning Strategies and Best
Book SynopsisFor thousands of years people have aligned their homes with the sun. This tendency decreased with the availability of artificial light. Yet, due to the health effects of artificial light as well as rising energy costs, the issue of designing with daylight is of great importance again today. The primary objective of daylight systems is to make maximum use of daylight for certain building types and climates. The book documents the various dimensions of the optimum use of daylight with particular reference to window orientation, light distribution, and prism technology, and discusses the health and economic related aspects. In the final chapter, existing design concepts are documented in detail, including the expansion of the Art Institute of Chicago Museum in the United States by Renzo Piano Building Workshop,Terminal 3 of the Changi Airport in Singapore by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and the Clever House in Germany by Behnisch Architekten.
